  12. Description
  13. -----------
  14. This is the driver for the SMB Host controller on Acer Labs Inc. (ALI)
  15. M1535 South Bridge.
  16. The M1535 is a South bridge for portable systems. It is very similar to the
  17. M15x3 South bridges also produced by Acer Labs Inc. Some of the registers
  18. within the part have moved and some have been redefined slightly.
  19. Additionally, the sequencing of the SMBus transactions has been modified to
  20. be more consistent with the sequencing recommended by the manufacturer and
  21. observed through testing. These changes are reflected in this driver and
  22. can be identified by comparing this driver to the i2c-ali15x3 driver. For
  23. an overview of these chips see http://www.acerlabs.com
  24. The SMB controller is part of the M7101 device, which is an ACPI-compliant
  25. Power Management Unit (PMU).
  26. The whole M7101 device has to be enabled for the SMB to work. You can't
  27. just enable the SMB alone. The SMB and the ACPI have separate I/O spaces.
  28. We make sure that the SMB is enabled. We leave the ACPI alone.
  29. Features
  30. --------
  31. This driver controls the SMB Host only. This driver does not use
  32. interrupts.
